Obituary: Leonora “Lee” B. Repp, 91, Hood River

Leonora “Lee” B. Repp, cherished mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on May 14, 2026, at the age of 91. Born on May 20, 1934, in Brush, Colorado, Leonora was the fourth of William and Hazel Thornsby’s six children. She grew up in a loving, close-knit home, enjoying roller skating, singing, and reading—often finding peaceful moments reading in the branches of the tree in the family’s front yard. Lee’s vibrant personality shone through her involvement in theater, choir, and cheerleading during high school.

In her senior year, Lee’s friend Shirley introduced her to Shirley’s brother, Edgar “Ed” Repp, a student at Colorado A&M. Their friendship blossomed into love, and after Lee turned 18 and graduated, the couple married in August 1952. Ed’s Army ROTC commitment soon took them to Germany, where Lee embraced the adventure of living abroad before returning to Colorado and becoming a farmer’s wife.

Lee enjoyed life on the farm and working alongside Ed and his family. After several challenging years farming, Lee and Ed chose a life of service with the Army, which brought them to posts across the United States and Europe. In 1957, while stationed in Texas, they welcomed their first child, Craig, followed by Curtis in Washington (1960), Lorie in Oklahoma (1962), and Beth in New Jersey (1963). Lee managed twelve moves and countless school and church transitions, supporting Ed’s military career while providing stability and love for her family. Even during Ed’s yearlong assignments away from the family in Turkey and Vietnam, Lee’s resilience and leadership was evident, as she continued to create a nurturing home wherever they lived.

Upon Ed’s retirement in 1977, the couple settled in Hermiston, Oregon, where Lee once again became a farmer’s wife. In 1986, they moved to Carlsbad, California, and Lee found immense joy in her new role as grandmother. Ed passed away in 1992. Lee relocated to Hood River, Oregon in 2000, to be closer to her daughters and became an active member of her church and community, further expanding her circle of love and support.

Lee’s Christian faith guided her throughout life, and she served as a Sunday School teacher, choir member, and senior outreach minister. Her kindness, warmth, and determination touched all who knew her.

Lee was preceded in death by her husband Ed (1992), daughter Beth (2013), and grandson Kevin (1992). She is survived by her sister Evelyn; her children Craig (Mary), Curtis (June), and Lorie (Joe), son-in-law Roy, grandchildren Tyler (Lindsey), Anna (Sam), Grace, Andrew (Shri), Katie, Emily (Ken), Amy (Brooks), Daniel, Nathaniel, and Logan; and eleven great-grandchildren. Her legacy of love, strength, and unwavering support remains in the hearts of her family and friends.

Lee’s family would like to express their gratitude to the staff at Brookside Manor for the wonderful care and love they provided to our mom and grandmother.

There will be a memorial service to honor Leonora 1:00 p.m., July 18, 2026, at Anderson Tribute Center (1401 Belmont Ave., Hood River, Oregon). She will be interred with Edgar at Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego, California.

Obituary: Claude William Henson, 84, Hood River

Claude William Henson, age 84, passed away on April 24, 2026, just two days shy of his 85th birthday.

Claude graduated from Wy’ East High School in 1960, where he excelled in track and was a standout basketball player. Following graduation, he joined the United States Navy and married his high school sweetheart, Jackie, while home on Christmas leave on December 30, 1960. He proudly served four years in the Navy, including two years aboard the USS Midway.

Claude dedicated 33 years of service to UPS, where he retired with a perfect safety record and took great pride in never missing a single day of work.
